xenu ftw.
i thought thats what people meant when the said 'god', and instead of saying 'im praying to a higher power/supreme being', they just cut it down to god for short.
I never think it matters until people start pushing their views on others, or justify harm caused against others as being righteous due to their beliefs.
Option 1 is theist.
Option 2 is atheist.
Option 3 is agnostic.
It's a bit limiting, but #3 describes me well enough.

I voted Yes. However I don't believe in this "external being" that religion has created.
I believe God is a concept. I believe I am God. I believe each and everyone of us is our own "God".
Who else is Omnipotent? Is ultimately forgiving for their actions? and who else determines your destiny?
God is all of us.

God- yes, The world is just too wonderful and complicated a place to have evolved by chance. Might not be in the image we think though.
Religion- no, Anything too many people get together corruption is sure to follow. Ex. catholics cant eat meat on Friday, not because god said so but because the fishing industry was hurting, paid the pope off. Also see indulgences, crusades, the Christmas tree.
Aliens- yes, the universe is too big a place for us to be the only ones. Maybe they did a little god playing on earth.
I also believe that the "god(s)" and "profits" each religion pray too are probably on the same team and either laughing at our squabbles or really pissed at our wars over religious supremacy.

This is my opinion and I don't want it offend/influence anyone, but I don't believe in God, I believe that religion was invented by man to give meaning to life and to avoid chaos also to give ppl something to live for.... people need hope and an explanation for the unexplainable and a reason why there alive. If people had nothing to live their life would have no meaning to life and there would chaos. It also gives people a false sense that life has a greater meaning then your born u mate u die….. I have come to terms with this
